Popeye”s Hometown

Popeye”s Hometown

Today I performed in a city that holds a special place in the hearts of many, yet I didn’t even know it existed. I performed in Chester, IL which is the home of Popeye. Traveling as much as I do certainly brings you to a lot of cities and it’s amazing how many surprises come up when you travel. I honestly had no idea that Popeye had a hometown, much less one that really pulled out all the stops to let the world know. There were statues throughout town of Popeye, Olive Oyl (with Swee’ Pea and Eugene), along with Swee’ Peas restaurant (where we ate lunch). All in all, it was a great surprise and I really enjoyed getting to know about another small part of history that’s out there. If you haven’t been there, I recommend stopping by and checking it out.I’ve also included a couple pictures from a recent show that had about 450 3-5th grade students. It was a lot of fun and I love getting to perform when there’s plenty of room to work with.

We just had Peter demonstrating his jump rope skills and his awesome unicycling talents with the jump rope. I recommend his show to all ages, from Kindergarten all the way up through secondary school. The kids were totally engaged, they enjoyed the performance. He had some awesome jump rope tricks. The message that he sends to the kids was how to become a champion, which was really wonderful, talking about how to be positive and how to have friends around you that would have you be positive to become a champion. The entire show was motivational, entertaining, a lot of fun and I totally recommend this for all ages.
